Lauren Whitworth

Hi, I'm Lauren. I've been working as a therapist and mental health advocate for the past 9 years and I received my license in 2023. My specialty is working with young adults, the LGBTQ+ community, women, and survivors of trauma. I do have extensive experience working with children and adolescents as well.

My training and expertise cover working with the following: ADHD, anxiety disorders, sexual trauma, mood disorders (including depression), and PTSD.

Some common topics I specialize in include: relationship and family concerns, low motivation, social anxiety, anger, domestic violence, childhood trauma, grief, negative body/self image, gender identity, and managing life transitions such as moving, job loss, and break-ups.

A few personal things about me to help break the ice- My hobbies include making art, cooking, gardening (badly), playing video games, and watching films. I am an avid reader of fiction and fantasy novels.

All are welcome in my office. I believe in empowering people to be themselves during therapy, without fear of judgment. I take time to curate individual treatment interventions based on the specific needs of my clients. I will provide you with healthy communication strategies, motivation tools, mindfulness skills, trauma-focused therapy, coping strategies, supportive psychotherapy, EMDR, and much much more.

Our first session is for you to get comfortable and make sure you feel safe. I may have some assessment measurements to take, but remember you're in control of what you feel comfortable discussing on day one. I am here to support you and get your goals accomplished one day at a time.
